These are Pictures of my Nan and Grandad's Garden, I took them because I had thought of using the Garden to film in, for either all or a section of our film.

These are pictures I have taken

How the UK Film Council is making non mainstream films more accessible?

• v  They are improving access
• v  Raising awareness
• v  Increasing information

They improve access by using a few different methods, these include the DSN (Digital Screen Network), Digital Downloads, and sometimes the movie isn’t shown in a cinema instead it goes straight to DVD. Their DSN is made up of two hundred and forty digital cinema screens. Another way they are improving access is by allowing digital movie distributors to distribute the non mainstream movies via their download service, which is normally used to download mainstream movies like Pirates of the Caribbean, but to help some digital distributors, will put links to similar movies on the mainstream pages, which will help persuade customers to buy or rent the non mainstream movies such as; SunShine (about a space voyage to the sun, to release a bomb to save the world)

They raise awareness by sharing up to £4 million each year between the UK non mainstream film institutions, they do this to provide the filming companies with enough money so they can promote their films to the general public.

To increase information they; use one main website to which will include all the non mainstream films information on it, e.g. where its showing, the release date, a descriptions, a link to the films individual website as well as reviews after its released. The website is aimed at anybody who is aiming to watch, download, buy or even rent a film. The website is the one of the UK’s leading website which provides information to film fans, the website is http://www.findanyfilm.com/.

I have been researching colour schemes, so we know which colours go well together, I have been doing this because I think that we shouldn't just think about the camera angles, locations and editing and other basic details, I believe that we should plan everything in deep details, so when it comes to producing the movie opening, we know what we will be doing, e.g. what the colours we want in our shots, location, where the actors should be standing, when it comes nearer to the time of filming, we should even start researching weather, etc.

This is a video I found on YouTube and have edited it using TubeChope. liked this because I thought it was original and I might be able to add it into a movie opening.





This is a Slide Show with some Magazine Front covers and a T-shirt which I liked because they are interesting and I liked how some of them used the colours, how the people where standing, placed and how some of them have very minimal details on it, but they still look very effective. my favourite magazine front cover is slide 4, because I believe it's the most effective



Colour Schemes
This video is an example of a great colour scheme in videos, it's in a music video, made by The White Stripes, but I thought that it was a great example of a perfect colour schemes.



This is the Audi R8 V12, I like the colour scheme's  car on the publication picture

This is the Batman and Robin with Mr. Freeze film opening, I like the use of colour and lighting in this because it's effective and goes with theme of the film, that they are supposed to be in a cave.

I think that the Joker in the Dark Knight, would be good to base a character on, due to his personality in the film.

Mainstream vs. Independent cinemas

Mainstream cinemas, like Vue or Cineworld, are normally much larger and not just in size of the business but also in location, than independent cinemas, due to the higher demand of mainstream films compared to independent films. This is because companies like Disney and Warner Brothers, are more popular, well-known and mainstream than independent institutions like Warp Films, for example if you questioned a group of random people in Leicester about their favourite films, there wouldn’t be many people who answered with a film like from an independent film institution.



You will find mainstream cinemas such as;

1. Vue

2. Cineworld

3. Odeon

4. Etc

In most town and near most out of town shopping centres such as Fosse Park. They will show most of the mainstream film institutions main films such as Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean and Warner Brothers Harry Potter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PetrAmq9fcw

Where as you actually have look to find a independent cinema such as Pheonix Arts in Leicester (for further information on local independent cinemas click Here) these companies show films like “Bright Star”.
